Discusses illuminated Physiologus manuscripts produced by Greek scribes and illuminators for Italian Renaissance collectors and humanists, in relation to their Byzantine models.
Study of three manuscripts executed between 1550 and 1570, that of the Bibl. Marcienne of Venice, ms. Gr. IV 35 (1383) and the other two preserved in the Bibl. Vaticane, Barb. Gr. 438 and Ottob. gr. 354. The model of these three manuscripts must be a late Byzantine Cretan manuscript illuminated in the entourage of Theophanes the Cretan, but whose schemata follow either paleochristian models or dating from the Macedonian Renaissance by combining them with late iconographic inventions.
